ORIGINAL: RobertCrandall Well the news seems to be all over the latest Origins related letter on the News page so I guess it is public knowledge now. Matrix licensed a monster boardgame called "World in Flames" a few months ago now. A computer version was 7 years in labour but never actually was released. Matrix picked it up and now I am going to switching over to it as the lead developer to get this one going at last. That doesn't mean I am done with FPG - far from it! The plan is for at least one more Flashpoint title (Middle East anyone?) and continuous refinement of both for as long as anyone out there is interested. I expect to be working on it ten years from now, God willing. Flashpoint and WIF between them should serve to keep me busy and out of trouble for a long time to come! I had always wanted to do an east front title, but WIF will do nicely and it will also model the diplomatic and economic strategies of WW2 too which both interest me as well. WIF is 10x the size of FPG so is not for the faint of heart, but I feel up to it and I'm hoping a fair number of the rest of the Flashpoint team will follow me over too. 3 more hours of the day job and then it is off to Columbus Ohio! Beer, food, games, fun, and sleep deprivation here I come!! Ta, Rob. Dang! I’m happy for you, but I was hoping to see some more modern war games get cranked out. Maybe dust off some more of those Simulations Canada titles from the glory days. Oh well, I’ll take what I can get. Thanks for the hard work and best of luck!
